Open source refers to software whose source code is made publicly available for anyone to view, modify, and distribute. “

Open source refers to software whose source code is made publicly available for anyone to view, modify, and distribute. “

an open-source AI system can be used for any purpose without the need to secure permission, and researchers should be able to inspect its components and study how the system works. It should also be possible to modify the system for any purpose—including to change its output—and to share it with others to use, with or without modifications, for any purpose. In addition, the standard attempts to define a level of transparency for a given model’s training data, source code, and weights. “ https://www.technologyreview.com/2024/08/22/1097224/we-finally-have-a-definition-for-open-source-ai/ Open Source Initiative (OSI):

The project enables community contributors to add additional "skills" or "knowledge" to a particular model. InstructLab's model-agnostic technology gives model upstreams with sufficient infrastructure resources the ability to create regular builds of their open source licensed models not by rebuilding and retraining the entire model but by composing new skills into it.

Prompts ▸ Interacting with the model for asking questions ▸ Interpreting messages to get important information ▸ Populating Java classes from natural language ▸ Structuring output

@RegisterAiService interface Assistant { String chat(String message); } -------------------- @Inject private final Assistant assistant; quarkus.langchain4j.openai.api-key=sk-... Configure an API key Define Ai Service Use DI to instantiate Assistant

@SystemMessage("You are a professional poet") @UserMessage(""" Write a poem about {topic}. The poem should be {lines} lines long. """) String writeAPoem(String topic, int lines); Add context to the calls Main message to send Placeholder

class TransactionInfo { @Description("full name") public String name; @Description("IBAN value") public String iban; @Description("Date of the transaction") public LocalDate transactionDate; @Description("Amount in dollars of the transaction") public double amount; } interface TransactionExtractor { @UserMessage("Extract information about a transaction from {it}") TransactionInfo extractTransaction(String text); } Marshalling objects

Memory ▸ Create conversations ▸ Refer to past answers ▸ Manage concurrent interactions Application LLM (stateless)

@RegisterAiService(chatMemoryProviderSupplier = BeanChatMemoryProviderSupplier.class) interface AiServiceWithMemory { String chat(@UserMessage String msg); } --------------------------------- @Inject private AiServiceWithMemory ai; String userMessage1 = "Can you give a brief explanation of Kubernetes?"; String answer1 = ai.chat(userMessage1); String userMessage2 = "Can you give me a YAML example to deploy an app for this?"; String answer2 = ai.chat(userMessage2); Possibility to customize memory provider Remember previous interactions

@RegisterAiService(/*chatMemoryProviderSupplier = BeanChatMemoryProviderSupplier.class*/) interface AiServiceWithMemory { String chat(@MemoryId Integer id, @UserMessage String msg); } --------------------------------- @Inject private AiServiceWithMemory ai; String answer1 = ai.chat(1,"I'm Frank"); String answer2 = ai.chat(2,"I'm Betty"); String answer3 = ai.chat(1,"Who Am I?"); default memory provider Refers to conversation with id == 1, ie. Frank keep track of multiple parallel conversations

Agents aka Function Calling aka Tools ▸ Mixing business code with model ▸ Delegating to external services

@RegisterAiService(tools = EmailService.class) public interface MyAiService { @SystemMessage("You are a professional poet") @UserMessage("Write a poem about {topic}. Then send this poem by email.") String writeAPoem(String topic); @ApplicationScoped public class EmailService { @Inject Mailer mailer; @Tool("send the given content by email") public void sendAnEmail(String content) { mailer.send(Mail.withText("letter@quarkus.io", "A poem", content)); } } Describe when to use the tool Register the tool Ties it back to the tool description

Prompt Engineering RAG Fine tuning Cost Model Impact Re-training What are Some Common Ways to Improve Models?

Embedding Documents (RAG) ▸ Adding specific knowledge to the model ▸ Asking questions about supplied documents ▸ Natural queries

@Inject EmbeddingStore store; EmbeddingModel embeddingModel; public void ingest(List documents) { EmbeddingStoreIngestor ingestor = EmbeddingStoreIngestor.builder() .embeddingStore(store) .embeddingModel(embeddingModel) .documentSplitter(myCustomSplitter(20, 0)) .build(); ingestor.ingest(documents); } Document from CSV, spreadsheet, text.. Ingested documents stored in eg. Redis Ingest documents $ quarkus extension add langchain4j-redis Define which doc store to use, eg. Redis, pgVector, Chroma, Infinispan, ..

@ApplicationScoped public class DocumentRetriever implements Retriever { private final EmbeddingStoreRetriever retriever; DocumentRetriever(EmbeddingStore store, EmbeddingModel model) { retriever = EmbeddingStoreRetriever.from(store, model, 10); } @Override public List findRelevant(String s) { return retriever.findRelevant(s); } } CDI injection Augmentation interface

@RegisterAiService(retrieverSupplier = BeanRetrieverSupplier.class) public interface MyAiService { (..) } Tell the agent where to retrieve data from

Alternative/easier way to retrieve docs: Easy RAG! $ quarkus extension add langchain4j-easy-rag quarkus.langchain4j.easy-rag.path=src/main/resources/catalog eg. Path to documents

Fantastic. What could possibly go wrong? 66
